Painting Tool Kit

When performing any exterior project, you’ll want to have all the tools and products necessary to get the job done effectively and efficiently. Painting and staining brick requires many similar tools, equipment, and products to achieve the highest quality finish.

An example of a painting tool kit includes:

1. Drop sheets and tarps

Drop sheets are used to wrap the ground around the brick building or surface to protect paint or stain from ruining any gardens, walkways, or other ground surfaces.

Tarps can be used as a spot to host all the tools and equipment. This can also be a surface where you pour the paint or stain into a tray.

2. Cleaning supplies

This can include a pressure washer, hose, bucket and water, clothes/rags, or exterior surface cleaners like Natura Safe Prep.

When preparing to paint or stain brick, it is crucial to make sure the brick surface and mortar are completely clear of dirt and debris prior to the application of products

In terms of stain, we suggest using H&C Concrete Stain. Apply one or two coats of stain, depending on your desired finish.

By using the example kit and procedures above, you will be prepared to tackle any brick painting or staining project. If you are uncertain you can handle the work, the professionals at New Approach Painting are always ready to help. Contact us to get your project started today!
